A few questions for the racers out there. -

Alright. Some of you may know I'm writing a technical report on suspension tuning for race situations. I'm getting to the point where I will need the input of the community for some extra content. Here goes:
1. Do you adjust your camber for different track conditions? If so, what adjustments do you make, and when?
2. Do you adjust your toe for different track conditions? If so, what adjustments do you make, and when?
3. What dampening/spring combinations do you use for various track conditions? Do these differ between loose and packed surfaces?
4. What sort of preparations do you make for large/small jumps? How significant are these adjustments when compared to other adjustments you may make (compensations)?
5. Is having adjustable ackerman and caster important to you? And do you adjust these for differing track conditions?
I may come up with more questions afterward. I really appreciate any input you guys can give me! I'm sure a lot of this information may seem like common sense, but I really just need confirmation of my own ideas, so that I don't get called out by Steve Slayden when he reads this report. :P Also, if any of you have any more sources for information, especially articles that go over the track conditions and what kind of suspension setup was used, I'd be super grateful.
Thanks.
